Oops! Maybe I wasn’t completely clear.
It costs a certain amount to have a child at home in high school. It may cost a different amount to have that child at college.
Yes, your home water, electric, and food bills go down, but you are paying for water and electricity at college via rent and food via a meal plan. Another example is that in high school, text books are free, while in college, they cost a lot.
So, except for obvious things like tuition and fees, what is the cost difference during a school year for a child?
